La Bamba Riddim – Taxi Records

La Bamba Riddim – Taxi Records

Two tracks is all Taxi Records needs here, with Chevielle Franklin and Amblique handling “Labamba” and a bare-bones version cut following right behind. That setup keeps the focus on the rhythm itself, a taut little dancehall piece that feels lifted from the label’s deeper rare-ragga archive rather than pushed as a big crossover play, and the pairing of a vocal tune with its instrumental gives the release that old-school yard tape feel. Taxi Records also has a long history of strong riddim work, which makes this one read like a compact nod to the era they helped shape. The tracklist runs only to Chevielle Franklin Ft Amblique – Labamba and La Bamba – Version.
